A check in with the kittens

Monday posts usually deal with how the kittens are developing, but that was preempted by Halloween.

This weekend the kittens went up to the shelter for a check in and to receive another round of vaccines. This shelter likes to give them every two weeks until they are neutered. This feels like overkill to me, but no one asked me.

They have all put on weight and they received glowing reviews from the foster coordinator. Unfortunately, Guppy had a bit of an issue with her vaccine and she was not feeling well for a few hours afterward. She curled up in the cauldron and went to sleep - which was oh so cute! She was herself later that evening.

Guppy also really likes her food. She totally saves some for later.

Trout is gaining, which is great. His stool is still soft, and he is still peeing on the floor in front of the litterbox. He is SUCH a boy. I am hoping in the next week he out grows this.

Puffer is downright adorable. She is starting to enjoy being pet and likes to play.

Flounder is quite independent and is usually quite busy exploring and investigating things.. even when those things are me, she doesn't have a lot of time.

All in all, aside from litter box issues, they are doing very well and we are doing another check in with the shelter in two weeks.

His hormones haven't developed yet, so taking them away isn't the answer. He, like a lot of little boys, just haven't gotten the hang of going in the box yet. They usually do by now, and I'm sure it is just a matter of days before he figures it out.

Connie, they are all so precious. As my lovely grey kitty, Fiona, is fading away quickly, it does my heart good to see some healthy little grey kittens and remember her when she was one. Hugs, Janet and Kitties Blue
